We seek to help focus attention on, and develop long distance running in Ghana. We are dedicated to promoting the sport of distance running; enhancing health and fitness for all; responding to community needs, and promoting professional and recreational running in Ghana. The Runathon Ghana Foundation is borne out of the firm conviction that Ghana is capable of nurturing world-class long distance r
unning talents, within the medium term. To achieve our primary goals, we would stage regular running events, provide resources to assist athletes train properly, help in carefully managing sporting talents, develop sports facilities, create endowment funds and scholarships for promising Ghanaian long distance runners, and undertake sports research. We are passionate about long distance running, and have resolved to help lift Ghanaian long distance track and road running to world levels. We work to offer more opportunities for our runners to race, with the view to greatly enhancing performance, by organizing and effectively managing a busy programme of various long distance running events. We would also embark on advocacy and social marketing, and help promote healthy living through regular exercise among the general population, while supporting and promoting worthy social causes. The Runathon Ghana Foundation also carries out recreational and youth mission services, by establishing running-based programmes that promote children’s physical fitness, character development, and personal achievement. Our goal is to use our expertise and experience to empower people to live fitter, healthier lives through active participation in our races, community events, instruction and training resources, and youth, executive, and maternal fitness programmes.
